Department of Public Welfare Launches Easier Way for Low-IncomeResidents to Apply for Home Heating Bill AssistanceHarrisburg – The Department of Public Welfare is encouraging Low-Income HomeEnergy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) recipients to apply online this year forassistance in paying home heating bills, a new process that will make theapplication process faster and will save taxpayer dollars.

The department is sending all LIHEAP clients who applied online last year apostcard notice encouraging them to reapply online. In the past the departmentsent only paper applications to all perspective clients, even if they applied onlinethe previous year.

“Paper applications will always be available to our clients who prefer them,”Secretary of Public Welfare Gary D. Alexander said. “But, in order to reduceadministrative costs within the LIHEAP program, we are taking a different approachthis year by encouraging clients to apply for the program online.”

Clients who received LIHEAP last year will have the opportunity to apply prior to theLIHEAP program opening on Nov. 1. By way of the new postcard, clients will beprovided with a pre-registration number giving them access to an online applicationthat has already been filled out using last year’s data. Clients will simply have tomake sure their online information is correct and update anything that may havechanged, saving both clients and the department valuable time.

All online applications are sent straight to the county office to determine eligibility,thereby eliminating mail and hand processing time. In addition, the department willsave approximately $75,000 by sending postcards instead of full application packetsin the mail.

“The LIHEAP program is a critical component to helping Pennsylvania families makeends meet by keeping them warm and safe during the winter months,” Alexandersaid. “This is also an example of how the department has looked at each and everyprogram and identified both big and small ways that we can reduce governmentwaste.”

LIHEAP is a grant program that offers home heating assistance to eligible low incomehouseholds or families in crisis. Each year, the LIHEAP program serves392,349 Pennsylvania households.

New applicants can begin applying for the program on Nov. 1. Previous clients whoapplied online last year, and those participating in a pilot postcard applicationprogram in Lancaster County, should be receiving a postcard. The rest will receivepaper applications in the mail. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first servedbasis.

HARRISBURG -- The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, in partnership with the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania, invites stakeholders, community leaders and industry professionals to a statewide brownfields conference from Oct. 29 to 31, at the Monroeville Convention Center in Monroeville, Allegheny County.“This annual meeting is emblematic of Pennsylvania’s commitment to being a leader in brownfield reclamation,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “I look forward to sharing ideas with industry leaders to ensure that Pennsylvania continues to innovate in this field.”Secretary Krancer will address the group as the keynote speaker on Tuesday, Oct. 30.Previously, DEP and the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania (ESWP) held separate statewide conferences that appealed to the same audience, and this is the first year they have worked together on the conference. Organizers, using an advisory panel of industry experts to develop conference content, plan to hold the event in a different region of the state each year. The theme of this year’s conference, “Marketplace Meets Brownfields,” will highlight current redevelopment topics, including the popular Extreme Makeover competition; mobile workshops; a video showcase of success stories; and technical updates on market trends and treatment options.There will be a tiered track of courses available to provide continuing education credits for economic development agency personnel, local government organizations, planners, real estate professionals and engineering professionals.Brownfields are properties where expansion, redevelopment or reuse are jeopardized due to the presence of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants. Pennsylvania’s approach to brownfields redevelopment has proven to be a national model for transforming abandoned, idled properties into places of economic opportunity.For more information and to register or display an exhibit, contact the conference manager at 412-261-0710, ext. 11 or c.stellfox@eswp.com.To learn more about brownfields redevelopment in Pennsylvania, visit www.dep.state.pa.us and click on the “2012 Pennsylvania Brownfields Conference” button, or call 717-783-1566.

Here are the scheduled lane restrictions/closures in the I-80 work zone around Mifflinville in Columbia County for next week.From Monday through Thursday, Oct. 22-25, the westbound right lane will be closed on the new river bridge between miles 242 and 241 (Mifflinville and Berwick exits) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily in order to remove the parapet on the old westbound bridge.

LIHEAP Reform Measure Heads to Governor’s Desk Legislation
to bring much-needed accountability to the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Weatherization Assistance Program will
soon become law. House Bill 1991
strengthens fraud reporting measures, expands whistleblower
protections, and requires the use of the Income Eligibility Verification
System to determine the eligibility of applicants for both programs.

The legislation was drafted after
Auditor General Jack Wagner uncovered a LIHEAP fraud ring in
Philadelphia County, in which 16 people, including several state
employees, were charged with stealing more than $500,000 worth of LIHEAP
funds. His audits also uncovered cases of recipients receiving benefits
by using the Social Security numbers of deceased individuals.

The legislation is just the latest
in a series of welfare reforms enacted by the state House this session.
The measures protect the interests of taxpayers while also ensuring
continued access to benefits to those who truly need them.

Impact Fee Distribution Outlined
As of October 2012, the Commonwealth
has collected nearly $200 million in impact fees from natural gas
drilling in the Marcellus Shale. Under Act 13, a substantial portion of
that money is directed to counties and communities that host natural gas
wells.

More than $2.8 million is on its way
to Cameron, McKean and Potter counties and many of our local
communities. For a full list of the fee distribution in our area, visit my website.

Thanks for Attending the Senior Expo!
Thank you to everyone who helped to
make this year’s Senior Citizens Expo in Roulette a success. It was
great to see so many familiar faces, and to meet some new folks as well.
As always, I enjoyed serving the lunch!

House Approves Pro-Jobs Measure In
another effort to help bring more job opportunities to the
Commonwealth, the General Assembly approved the PEP! Program (Promoting
Employment across Pennsylvania) this week. PEP! would provide a state
tax incentive for a limited time to out-of-state employers that relocate
to the Commonwealth and bring good-paying jobs with them.

The bill also would provide the same
tax incentives to employers already located in Pennsylvania that create
new, good-paying jobs.

Under the bill, qualifying employers
would be able to keep 95 percent of the state Personal Income Tax (PIT)
revenue they withhold on behalf of their employees and use it to
further invest in and expand their operations. The remaining money would
go to the Commonwealth.

Companies would still pay applicable
state Corporate Net Income Tax, Capital Stock and Franchise Tax and
sales tax in addition to local taxes, including personal income taxes
and property taxes.

A standing-room-only crowd of cheering
activists inspired a raucous atmosphere Wednesday at a crucial
Pennsylvania Supreme Court legal argument on the state’s new oil and gas
laws.

Two Democratic justices challenged a lawyer
arguing to save the state’s limits on local control of gas drilling.
After some of the 130 people applauded in the normally staid courtroom
at the City-County Building, Downtown, Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille
demanded order and threatened to throw out those who didn’t pipe down.

“I’ve never heard (that) before in all my career,” said Walter A. Bunt Jr., a gas industry lawyer.

Justices gave no indication of when they would rule on the constitutionality of the 8-month-old law.

and Robinson in Washington County are leading a group trying to strike
down portions of Act 13. Commonwealth Court ruled 4-3 in July that the
state overstepped its authority by allowing drilling in all land-use

Thank you to everyone who gave me news on “sightings”: Larry Wimmer, Don & Beth Sigafoes, Bev McDowell, Marylou Fourness and to those who rescued Onyx and kept him safe: Paul Carpenter, Karen Carpenter & to Dr. Shaderowfsky for offering adoption if no one claimed him.

Onyx will no longer be allowed onto the porch to visit with the kitty from next door unless I am with him every minute. Yes, I know I should have never left him…what kind of mother am I !!! Sorry for all the trouble he caused. He had traffic stopped at one point because he was staggering around the road. He scared everyone with his erratic behavior due to his blindness.

So this is a story of some good news coming out of Roulette. There really are a lot of great people who live here as you can see. And last a big thank you to Jim for keeping Solomons words going and for posting my request.

WILKES-BARRE -- The Department of Environmental Protection is warning residents of Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties to disregard a posting discovered recently at the McAdoo Post Office in Kline Township, Schuylkill County, concerning contaminated drinking water.

Additionally, the agency knows of no environmental link between PV and drinking water in Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties.DEP reminds residents that the agency posts public notices about drinking water in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, local newspapers and, in some cases, delivers notices to affected customers.For more information, visit www.dep.state.pa.us or call 570-826-2511.
